http: emit 'error' on aborted server request

Server requests aka. IncomingMessage emits 'aborted'
instead of 'error' which causes confusion when
the object is used as a regular stream, i.e. if
functions working on streams are passed a
server request object they might not work properly
unless they take this into account.
